Corporates are Adding Fuel to Drug Testing Market

There is no doubt that drug testing is becoming increasingly popular with companies and organizations.

These organizations account for almost two-thirds of all drug testing spending. Other large categories include health care companies (27%), educational institutions (24%) and transportation companies (15%).

There are a number of businesses in the global drug testing market that use drug testing as part of their employment or recruitment process. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) suggests that in order to maintain a safe and fair workplace, employers should test employees for drugs at least annually. This is especially important when it comes to substances such as marijuana and cocaine, which have increased in popularity in recent years. Some companies go beyond just drug testing to include alcohol and nicotine testing as well. Drug testing can be expensive, so some companies may choose to invest in these additional tests in order to guarantee the best possible workforce.
